1.0
Purpose
This document defines the training, procurement, inspection, and maintenance requirements for rigging, cranes, and hoists used on behalf of TJNAF. These requirements are in addition to those outlined in Chapter 6140, Material Handling Equipment Program.
TJNAF bases these requirements on those contained in DOE-STD-1090: Hoisting and Rigging Standard (Formerly Hoisting and Rigging Manual) and Chapter 2410, Appendix T1: Hazard Issues List.
2.0
Scope
This chapter and its appendices apply to the operation and use of overhead and mobile cranes, hoists, and rigging hardware operated by employees or subcontractors.
Items of note - Work
involving the use of mobile cranes often includes a forklift and forklift
attachment(s). Refer to Chapter
6145, Material Handling – Forklifts and Attachments for related requirements. - The movement of hazardous waste using a crane and/or hoist must be accomplished under supervision of the TJNAF Hazardous Waste Coordinator (HWC). |

Responsibilities
Note: Management authority may be delegated to a
task-qualified TJNAF employee at the discretion of the responsible manager.
3.1
Material Handling Manager (MHM)
· Authorizes repairs and maintenance requirements for cranes and hoists.
· Oversees annual inspection of hoisting equipment and operator training for overhead cranes and hoists.
3.2
Supervisors
and Technical Representatives (TR)
· Act as the “Management Representative” and designate a competent and qualified employee (e.g., Lift Director/Person –in –Charge) for the task.
· Use DOE-STD 1090: Hoisting and Rigging Standard to determine lift category or consult the MHM.
TRs also:
· Direct the subcontractor to submit a Material Handling Lift Plan two or more days before a planned crane or other lift by a machine involving a suspended load. Ensure the equipment operator and rigger qualifications are included in the Lift Plan. Refer to Chapter 6141, Appendix T4: Hoisting and Rigging Operations for planning the lift.
· Monitor the performance of subcontractor’s crane/hoist operations and notify MHM of any concerns.
3.3
Qualified
Crane and Hoist Operators — includes anyone approved to use a crane, hoist,
or associated equipment for the benefit of Jefferson Lab
· Complete classroom and practical training (Crane Operator Certification or equivalent as determined by the MHM).
· Perform inspection of crane/hoist and associated equipment before use in accordance with 6141, Appendix T1: Inspection Procedures for Rigging, Cranes, and Hoists.
3.4
Occupational
Medicine
Evaluate potential operators to ensure they are physical and visual fit to safely operate cranes and hoists. Refer to ES&H Manual Chapter 6800, Appendix T1: Medical Monitoring.
4.0
Technical Appendices
4.1 Appendix T1: Overhead Crane & Hoist Operators, Riggers and Signalers Training Requirements
· Crane and/or hoist operators are appointed by their supervisor or TR with approval by the MHM.
· Qualified operators are trained in the proper operation of equipment they’ll be using and subsequently approved for such by the MHM.
· Steps to become a qualified crane operator are included.
4.2
Appendix T2: Procurement
Requirements - Overhead & Mobile Cranes, Hoists, and Rigging
Information
regarding the purchase or lease of overhead and mobile cranes, hoists &
rigging; contracted equipment; and, associated subcontracted services, over and above those for material handling
equipment, are provided therein.
4.3
Appendix T3: Inspection
Procedures for Overhead & Mobile Cranes, Hoists, and Rigging
Procedures for routine inspection and regular maintenance of overhead cranes, hoists, and rigging used on behalf of TJNAF are delineated in T3. These are based on Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers national consensus standards. Use a Wire Rope Inspection Report Form to record the findings of such inspections.
4.4
Appendix T4: Operating
Hoisting and Rigging Equipment (including a lift plan)
Overhead or mobile crane operations at Jefferson Lab are accomplished in
accordance with DOE-STD-1090: Hoisting and Rigging Standard. When subcontracted crane services are utilized,
a Material Handling Lift Plan must be submitted to the MHM for
approval before any lift involving a mobile crane. A Material Handling Lift
Plan must be completed for any
suspended load lifted by other machines. A Lift Plan is also required for any critical lifts using a crane or forklift.
All lifts require solid planning! Developing and documenting a lift plan is
recommended for all lifts; however, documentation is not required for lifts
classified as Ordinary.
A Lift Plan should be used for non-routine lifts using overhead cranes,
or incorporated into a Temporary Operational Safety Procedure. Appendix T4 provides
the steps necessary to ensure safe operations of this equipment. The approved lift planning process is
accessible via the Jefferson Lab Lift Plan Form. It is important to note that the MHM has
the authority to accept Lift Plans in other formats from subcontracted material
handling service companies.
Note: A lift plan is required whenever a forklift is used to suspend a load under the “Forks” |
4.5
Appendix T6: Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices
At Jefferson Lab below-the-hook lifting devices (BTHLD) are designed, built, and purchased to perform specific functions. This appendix outlines the requirements for the design, production, use, and modification of BTHLDs.
